5. Denial Letter missing? Where can I get a copy? I have a Premium online VA account but cant find it...

   I did not see my most recent decision denial letter in the mail. Anyone know where I can get ALL of my past denial letters and their reasonings for denying me? Also, is there a way to see all of my service connections and their wording on why they were able to service connect me? One reason I also want to know the reasons I am service connected to things is because I was recently approved for Hypertension. They denied me Sleep apnea in the past because of my weight. But I believe in this recent decision, I leveraged the fact that I gained weight due to my mental health service connection. And I was able to use that as a nexus for hypertension. I am now wanting to po…

6. PTSD/MST no C&P exam

   Hello, I'm new here but have read through many posts. I put in several claims for increase & a new one for PTSD due to MST. I've had exams for everything but the PTSD. When I contacted the VA to inquire if I would be scheduled for one. They stated that reviewing chart records & other evidence no exam was needed. Has anyone had a good outcome without a C&P exam for PTSD? I'm currently at 50% for MDD & anxiety. However, recently VA doctors have said it's a misdiagnosis & changed it to PTSD. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks

7. HLR C&P

   Hello Everyone I recently had a HLR and the VA came back and said that they found errors with the previous C&P by LHI. So they scheduled me for another C&P exam which I had on last Friday with a VA NP. She asked me the standard question on the migraine questionnaire and then at the end she said she would have to do some research into the connection between PTSD and migraines and that I would have my decision in 30 days. I wanted to know is it normal to take 30 days because all the other C&P exams that I've had I received the results the day after the C&P exam.

8. C&P for Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood

   I served in the Navy from Jan 2007 - Jan 2011. I was diagnosed with adjustment disorder with depressed mood in my first year. I was having issues adjusting to the military life. It is documented in my STR as "Personality Disorder: Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood". From there on, there were other things that happened during my service (not combat related) that just made it harder and harder to perform my duties and live a normal life. I did not pursue treatment or counseling during my time in service, because I was afraid of being kicked out, and didn't want the label of having a "personality disorder" for the rest of my life. I was raised to be very "private", I g…

10. Are C&P exams being delayed because of the pandemic?

    I was due for the 5 year check up C&P exam late last year and never got anything in the mail for it. They don't forget do they? Are the C&P exams backlogged due to the pandemic? It's not hurting my benefits but I'm wondering when they're going to call me back in.

12. a dental C&P exam not related to the disability claim

    My husband filed his disability claim last OCT 2020 for high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. No other updates until June 2021 when he was scheduled for a c&p exam for dental. We are confuse if this is a normal procedure to get one which is completely not related to his illness. Is anyone experience this? is this a good or bad news on his claim? Thank you!

13. LHI Examiner Had Me Give Him My Healthevet Username and Password

    Just what the title says. Made me uneasy, but I felt like I couldn't say no. I changed the password once I got home, but given my history of examiners sometimes feeling like they can make stuff up or say whatever, I really don't feel comfortable that this guy now has access to everything in the VA online as if he was me, including communications, appeals, etc. I'm pretty sure all of it is linked and he can pretty much screw with anything he'd like. What can or should I do?

14. PTSD C&P Exam Video Conference

    Good Afternoon All, I have a PTSD claim for increase tomorrow via video conference. I know that if you went in person, they wouldn't let your spouse or SO in with you. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the video conference exam. My wife is going to be sitting next to me when the conference begins and it will be curious to see if they ask her to leave the room. I saw a video from Attorney Chris Attig that suggested it may be beneficial to an impending appeal (if the claim is denied), if the evidence of the record suggests or shows that the spouse was asked to wait outside and that the lay evidence is extremely important to the claim. At my C&P ex…

15. Backlog in C&P Exams?

    Right then, last year I had two C&P exams. Due to living in Germany, the VA hands it off to the VES who schedules everything. The VES contacted me last year in August with a wee questionnaire and also asked if I was available during the next 60 days. Both appointments were done within that time. This year seems a different animal. The VES contacted me at the beginning of March with the same questionnaire and the 60 day question. I had a mental health appointment within 3 weeks! There are still two matters pending. I sent the VES an email at the end of May (near on 3 months) and the response was merely waiting for an appointment. This is for hearing loss a…

16. DX CODES needed .loss of use left arm

    I have a c&p on Tuesday, for “neuropathy hand”, and “peripheral nerves”. I have attached a letter from one of my Dr for service connection and description of diag.. My PCP is asking me for exact codes (dx)that he can input to help with diagnosis to put in my file. I am trying to get loss of use for left hand, I am already SC for loss of use for my right.
